Eddie Prevost Speech: The Frakture Big Band, The Bluecoat and history

A short spontaneous speech delivered by Eddie Prevost after a set by the Frakture Big Band and before the quartet set. A gentle speech that appreciates the work of Frakture, Frakture big band and contextualises our practice, Our relationship with venues and hosts: past, and present: a present which is now past.

Phil Morton adds: An emotional speech for me st the time and now. A great delivery.  Eddie is correct we English can be reticent, at the time I was deeply moved by this speech as a appreciation, acknowledgement and thanks is often thin on the ground in our lives: lived. Poignant: it contextualises; the past, the present (2008) and a future that was yet to unravel.

Date 27th March 2008
Location : The Bluecoat, performance space.

[ Note - a newly, re-opened, refurbished (£12 million?) Bluecoat]

German pianist Alex von Schlippenbach and British percussionist Eddie Prévost have each developed unique, sonic schools that draw on elements of jazz, avant-garde composition and above all, their power and energy for invention

Elephant In The Room play regularly together, sometimes with guests, sometimes with an audience - as individuals, and in different combinations of the group. They experiment with structured and free approaches to improvisation, graphic scores, and working with other creatives in spoken word, movement, film and image. Elephant have played on the same bill as many northern and national improvisers, and as individuals play in a range of contexts, collectives, orchestras, and bands.
